YOUNG AND OLD.

When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green,
And every goose a swan, lad,
And every lass queen,
Then fly for boot and horse. lad,

Your love must have its course, lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad,
And all the trees are brown,
And the sport is stale, lad,
And all the wheels run down,
Creep home and take your place there,
The spent and MANNED among
God grant you find face there
You loved when you were young.
